What is system lock up?

I had my computer on yesterday since morning. In the afternoon, I went to work on it and it was locked up. I had to turn the computer off and restart it. When I restarted it, the fans started, the lights came on, but nothing happened. I tried a different battery, checked to make sure all the cards were in properly, checked my monitor, etc...and nothing happens. Any idea what this could be? Please HELP!
